BACKGROUND: Ross syndrome is an uncommon disorder characterized by the triad of segmental anhidrosis, hyporeflexia, and tonic pupils. METHODS: The authors describe the clinical findings of five patients with Ross syndrome and detail the results of their pharmacologic and autonomic testing. RESULTS: In four patients, the classic findings of Ross syndrome were accompanied by Horner's syndrome. Other symptoms of dysautonomia were also common. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that Ross syndrome is a dysautonomic condition of varying expression resulting from a generalized injury to ganglion cells or their projections. |
